Restored Cornice in St. Brigid’s Church

Last week we finished the restoration of some cornice in St’ Brigids Church, Hacketstown, Co. Carlow. The Cornice was so big we had to do it in three sections, to be sure the weight would not jeopardize the original ceilings. After it was run out by hand in the factory we got good use of all of last weeks spectacular sunshine to get it dry enough to fit!

These type of jobs is one of the best parts here at Carlow Cornice & Mouldings Ltd. It is a real privilege to be a part of restoring the historical heritage of Ireland, free for everyone to enjoy. From the smallest cup for light fittings and  cottage coving to large intricate plaster art in the shape of panel work, cornice and centerpieces.  And when we are not preserving traditional craftsmanship, we are happy to add the beautiful pieces to your home.
